History

Wold Cottage is the UK\'s oldest-known surviving meteorite, having plummeted through Earth\'s atmosphere in 1795. The fall of this \'extraordinary stone\' prompted the first large-scale investigation into the origins of meteorites

On 13 December 1795, a meteorite fell in an agricultural field near the village of Wold Newton in East Yorkshire. Farmworker James Shipley was so close to its impact site that he was struck by soil and rocks thrown into the air by the crash landing, which caused a crater about 50 centimetres deep. A monument was erected by in 1799 and marks the exact spot where the meteorite landed.

This is your chance to have a fragment of history in your collection.
